why is hiring family members a problem? if you're running for a political office, who would you want closest to you? family? wow...biden is so evil (sarcasm) as vp candidates, palin still out-lies biden 1000 to 1. she's a pro. mccain- either he's a good liar or just delusional. can't tell anymore. it's amazing how he complains about socialism but every policy he's thrown out these past few weeks or voted for smells of socialism. maybe repubs are in the closet socialism lovers! who knew!

Joe Biden is a pastie-faced bland politician . In Barack Obama's OWN WORDS he is stealing the election. No wonder he is ahead in battle ground States. In 2007 Obama already had this planned with ACORN. In Obmama's OWN WORDS listen to this video of Obama's promise's to ACORN. Dec. 07. "Obama ACORN Smoking Gun - Caught In The Act Here is Barack Obama" http://www.truveo.com/Obama-ACORN-Smokin......... Act/id/4102441375

What is the fuss? It is perfectly in keeping with how any cheap scum thieving fascist traitor murder pig democrat would do things. Complaining is like saying hey, that cat played with and ate a mouse! And being all indignant about it... The stupid traitor biden is the one who wrote the infringement criminal bill of 1994 remember- disarm the victims so the criminals can play law! A person who gets confused over the single sentence long second amendment needs to be in the looney bin, not in the senate! And not running for any office of public trust- even before succeeding with the treason! Now he has earned a firing squad, really.

"Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. has paid more than $2 million in campaign cash to his family members, their businesses and employers over the years, a practice that watchdogs criticize as rife with potential conflicts of interest." "Mr. Biden is hardly alone among members of Congress whose campaigns hold close ties to family. FEC records also show that Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's political action committee, Straight Talk America, paid more than $15,000 in 2006 to his wife, Cindy." Jim, you are a biased sack of crap who thinks readers are too stupid to realize that $15,000 is 0.75% of $2,000,000. I hope you get laid off soon like the rest of the Obama campaign that has infiltrated your newsroom.

Biden a typical scumbag politican hurrah for me and screw the people. Him and Obama make a good pair fleece the public and blame Bush. It's times like this I wonder why some extremist doesn't cap the both of them.

Hey, this is "Change you can believe in". "Change is coming", folks. Look at the reform VP Candidate B.O. picked. Biden is going to Clean Up Washington, right? No more "business as usual" with Obama and Old Hair-Plug. Let's make sure B.O. and Hair-Plug get into the White House so we can get more of this kind of "Change"--this New Kind of Politics. We have never seen this before! This is so NEW! It's REFRESHING! It's a real "CHANGE" for a "CHANGE"! This kind of "CHANGE" will be So Good for the Country! (Did I make my point yet?)

If this was a Republican VP candidate he would be forced to withdraw from the race.

Biden, Obama, and most Democrotches are maggots on the flesh of this country. It doesn't take long to find out about these things, but the mainstream press is too lazy, or is to much in bed with the theives to expose them.

Unforunately they all do it. The R's and D's. It's surprising that there mentioning it now. If you live anywhere near the DC area it's pretty common knowledge. I think Ted Stevens was probably one of the most egregeous in hiring/paying relatives. Try to keep in mind both sides do it and they both do it well. I would rather the story focused on both party members then picking out Biden. I think he is a good man, but I still wouldn't vote for him because I disagree w/ his politics/philosophy. Also keep an eye on the earmarks. This is not a D debate issue..it is a D and R debate issue! Biden may be a progressive but I would not call him a scumbag.

BIDEN SHOULD BE IN JAIL, AND OBAMA NEEDS TO BE IN THE CELL NEXT TO HIM. Voter fraud, graft, kickbacks, income tax evasion, corruption, real estate swindels, conspiracy, violatons of Free Speach, collusion to defraud the American people, perjury, theft, obstruction of justice,ethics violations, and criminal liability for the largest financial crisis in American history. And that's just the beginning.

If it were Joe Biden (R) Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be screaming for him to step down from the race and leave the Senate for having the "appearance of impropriety", the law that only Republicans can break. Throw the bums out! Disgusting.

There always seem to be a connection to McCain no matter what ethical problems they find with the opposing team. OBiden is in the hole 2 Million dollars how can that be compared to l5,000 that McCain borrowed from his wife. Probably for some insignificant item he might have needed. This is perfectly legal. Wake up everybody. Those leaders in washington have to be cleaned up. Go for MCCain who is not afraid of these idiots, who have been taking advantage for years. They no sooner get in office and all the corruption begins. OBAMA, is the father of corruption, and now he is going to be the leader of it. This is not socialism this is way Marxism, believe me we are heading towards loosing all our freedoms,in America, and we were conquered by not one fire of a gun, it all happened within. There were those to busy blaming the So. Border, looking at those poor people trying to make a decent living, wanting to be good Christians and wanting to live the American dream. When all the time the revolution was happening before your very eyes. We are all hynotized, by a smooth talking serpent, and everyone it seems fell for it. Heaven help us. Good by freedom....Hello Muslim Politics. The first to go freedom of speech, you will be arrested for talking about Obama. Then they will take your weapons, you will have no defense. Women will not have rights, babies will continued to be destroyed, we will be governed by Gay politicians. Lawlessness will run rampant in the streets. And we will have rationing, for money, gas, food, etc. Cities, will decay, Christians will be prosecuted, this is all in the bible, people most on welfare. The depression will be a babies,dream, we will see more people coming into the USA, from Africa, the middle east, and other countries claiming political asylum. Hello, should I go on. This is the New America. Good Luck. I Still pray for MCCAIn. he can save us....

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
